Rock The House²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 102| CD

10/3

Successful twice in handicaps in 2021 for Olly Murphy and back to form on stable debut when runner-up at Hereford (21.7f) 28 days ago. Remains 2 lb below last winning mark so can give another good account.

Form: 46PU72

Poker Master²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 100| BF| C

6/1

Completed hat-trick (including twice at this course) in handicaps earlier this year and ended campaign with creditable third of 9 at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft). Fairly treated on return.

Form: 0P1113-

George Bancroft³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 99

10/1

Flat winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Fontwell last autumn. Hasn't progressed as might have been hoped since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: UP3-263

Mexican Boy^t¹⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 96WS

11/1

Fair bumper performer who has only shown modest form to date in this sphere and found little when last seen at Uttoxeter in May. Had wind operation.

Form: 5324P-6

Say Nothing^b²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 94| D

13/2

Confirmed return to form when creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Hereford (19.7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. 2 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated.

Form: 4P-8652

Doyen Street²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 90

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden who showed a bit more than previously when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, good) 20 days ago. Worth a check in market on handicap debut.

Form: 673834

Zuckerberg^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 88

18/5

Good effort when runner-up over fences at Stratford in July and would have been placed but for departing at the last at Sedgefield next month. Had a couple of spins on the Flat since but he's increasingly looking hard to trust. Returns to hurdling.

Form: 3-4024F

Ulysses^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: D Shaw| OR: 76

28/1

Won at Worcester in summer of 2021 but hasn't been in any sort of form on the Flat this year and was well beaten on return to hurdling last month.

Form: 15040-0

The Gold Bug⁴²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Max Kendrick| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 75

9/2

Showed first real form over hurdles when second of 9 in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, good to soft, 9/2) 14 months ago but not seen since and likely best watched here.

Form: 80P/F2-

Galactic Power^p²²⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 74| C| D

28/1

Course winner but not successful since 2018 and at veteran stage now. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 23/P3PP-

Orbit Of Iolite^h²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: S A Harris| OR: 64

80/1

Looks very limited and is well out of the weights here. Hood now added for first time in this sphere.

Form: 70/70-40

Glance At Me²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 63

50/1

Well held in trio of novice hurdles last term and looks to be up against it from 12 lb out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form: 986-

Weight: 10-5| Age: 6

T: N J Gifford J: James Davies

Forecasts

Rock The House (10/3), Zuckerberg (18/5), Cobbs Corner (4/1), The Gold Bug (9/2), Poker Master (6/1), Say Nothing (13/2), George Bancroft (10/1), Mexican Boy (11/1), Ulysses (28/1), Galactic Power (28/1), Doyen Street (33/1), Glance At Me (50/1), Orbit Of Iolite (80/1)

COBBS CORNER found improvement when scoring at Fakenham last month and remains fairly treated. He can follow up. Say Nothing and Rock The House rate the principal dangers.
